Hi, I am Alissa. Have you ever felt trapped in your own brain? Feel like your emotions are running away with your life? I help individuals to learn how to control their thoughts and emotions so they are able to enrich their lives with relationships, stress, and emotional balance. I am a LCSW who specializes in anxiety, Borderline, depression, relationship issues, and emotional distress among other things. I love to work with the strength base module and a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) model. I believe that therapy is a relationship and that trust is important in order for you to get what you want and need out of therapy.
In our first session we will fill out the intake form and walk through it together with the main focus being to get to know each other and start to build a relationship.
I feel my biggest strengths are helping individuals to see things from a different perspective allowing them to decrease their emotional reactions and have more clarity when they make decisions.
I really enjoy working with women, age 18-65 the most

I ran a DBT group for a few years. I love to use DBT skills in my own life and helping other to learn how to change their pattern of thinking.

She was nice but asked me the same question multiple times. Within just a few minutes. It was very strange. She jumped to conclusions and went off on tangents. It was a very odd experience.

Alissa was very kind, understanding and caring. I have only met with her one time but felt completely at ease talking to her.

She is so caring and kind. She is a WONDERFUL listener. I usually have a lot to say. Lol. She is so nonjudgemental and doesn't make me feel ashamed or embarrassed about the issues or subjects I bring up. I am just getting to know her yet, but so far she seems to be very kind and caring. I wld recommend her to anyone who has a lot to say and to anyone who wld normally feel ashamed or embarrassed about things you want to deal with. She is very good at coming up with exercises to help me. 5 stars!
